Dior's Fall 2025 Show Blends Fashion History With Bold Theatrics

Maria Grazia Chiuri's collection draws from Virginia Woolf's 'Orlando,' historical silhouettes, and Dior's archives, set against a dramatic prehistoric-inspired stage.

Maria Grazia Chiuri's Dior Fall/Winter 2025 collection featured gender-fluid designs inspired by Virginia Woolf's novel 'Orlando' and historical fashion elements like detachable ruffs and androgynous tailcoats.
The collection paid homage to past Dior creative directors, including John Galliano with a reimagined 'J’adore Dior' T-shirt and Gianfranco Ferré’s Victorian and medieval influences.
The show’s staging, directed by Robert Wilson, featured a prehistoric theme with molten rocks, icebergs, and a flying pterodactyl, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.
Speculation surrounding Chiuri’s potential departure from Dior was a major topic of discussion, with rumors suggesting Jonathan Anderson as her possible successor.
Dior’s beauty team emphasized natural, luminous looks with reverse eyeliner and sleek hairstyles to complement the collection’s balance of masculinity and femininity.
